Nightmare Before Christmas Cake Balls – The level of detail on the little fondant toppers is just ridiculous.

Tattooed Skull Chair – Lovely chair by tattoo artist Scott Campbell.

Unbirthday Party – This Wonderland-themed setup has a lot of great ideas for any party occasion.

Strange Oaks – Cute little animated short which extols a town’s benefits to witches.

Evil Dead Cross-Stitch Pattern – Li’l Ash is adorable. (There’s a different design here.)

Halloween Scarf – Interesting felted scarf featuring a graveyard and a big spider. There are a number of other unusual felted items on the same site. (via Old Fashion Halloween)

Mythical Beast Travel Posters – Retro-look travel posters which advertise the mythical creatures of various destinations. These are available as prints and are completely wonderful.

Serpentine – Gorgeous book of snake photography.

Moonhallow Vintage – Spooky Halloween folk art. I adore the painted cupboard.

Celestarium – Striking shawl pattern based on a real star chart.

I ran into this wreath in a BHG slideshow of outdoor decorating ideas (incidentally, the spider wreath at that link is pretty neat too). Their method involves wrapping styrofoam balls in yarn and then hot-gluing them to a wire wreath form, which strikes me as overly complicated.

An even easier approach would to be to bend some wire (such as from a coathanger) into a circle and thread balls of yarn onto it. Tape the ends of the wire together and cover the join with a pretty ribbon.

If you’re a crafter you probably have leftover yarn laying around which would be perfect for this project. It’d be easy to make several of these as gifts, and the construction is simple enough that kids could help out.

A wall full of wreaths might be an attractive way to store yarn as well; it’d be out of the way and you could find the color you need at a glance.

It could be argued that Andrea of Cupookie has too much time on her hands. Because her blog is full of insanely-detailed cookies like this calavera gingerbread man, cookies whose decorations would make mere mortals cringe in terror at the thought of trying to replicate them.

They sure are awesome-looking, though.

Best of all, every other entry seems to be somehow spook-related; she’s got some lovely (and perhaps even do-able by us mere mortals) pumpkin spice sugar cookies, all kinds of Halloween cookies, magical fairies, girly skulls, and even some redecorated Hello Kitty skeletons.

She’s also got some interesting posts about things like cookies which resemble rocks, which opens up some possibilities in Halloween-party treats.

Mainly, though, you’re going to run into her brush embroidery cookies or the henna-inspired ones and be entirely boggled by the amount of detail work that went into them. Browse her site at the risk of feeling very inadequate in the cookie-decorating department.
